The History of the Rolex Arabic Dial – Exclusive Special Editions for Connoisseurs
Rolex is known for its classic designs, but some models have been given special dial variations that offer a unique aesthetic. Watches with Arabic numerals, or Eastern Arabic Numerals, were originally designed for the Middle East and are particularly valued there.
Over the past decades, Rolex has repeatedly released limited-edition or custom-made models for VIP clients and heads of state from the Gulf region. Day-Date and Datejust models, which combine traditional Rolex design with a culturally inspired dial, are particularly sought-after. The Rolex Daytona collection also features Arabic dial variants, which are highly prized by collectors.
Design & Functions – Classic Rolex models with Arabian flair
The Rolex Arabic Dial models are a fascinating blend of timeless luxury and individual details. The most striking features are the Arabic numerals on the dial, which, depending on the model, appear in either a traditional or modern Eastern Arabic variant.
Depending on the model, these watches are available in 18-carat gold, platinum, or stainless steel. Dial designs range from simple, elegant versions to sporty versions with colorful accents, such as the Daytona. The models are powered by the respective Rolex caliber, including the 3255 (Day-Date), 3235 (Datejust), or 4130 (Daytona).
